5 Best Travel Photography Destinations In The World

Photography as a way of expressing your outlook will always be personal to the one who took the photograph and well as to every viewer of the same photo. Travel photography is not only about places and landscapes. It also captures the local culture, its history, nature, and wildlife as well as food and architecture.

The South of France is where you can capture the richness of history in Europe. This includes the medieval villages of Lacoste and Carcassonne. Not to mention the vibrant colors of the lavender and sunflower fields of Provence, the beaches of French Riviera (Cote d'Azur) stretching from Monaco in the east to Cassis west and the iconic celebrity and billionaire hotspots of Cannes, San Tropez, and Nice. With its hundreds of historic perfumeries, the South of France is considered the world capital of perfume.

Greece is very popular for travel photographers. Who wouldn't be amazed at the visual appeal that goes beyond the white-washed Santorini islands and the ancient Athenian ruins? Photographers will also have the opportunity to capture the seldom visited snow-capped Olympic Mountains that rise over 10,000 above sea level approaching a thousand-year-old Greek temples. The portraits shots of the most expressive people in the world - the Greeks, is worth capturing as much as the cliff-hanging monasteries of Meteora.

Patagonia (Chile-Argentina) is South America's American Wild West and is one of the best travel photography destinations in the world. The rugged mountains, endlessly scattered grasslands, deserts and snow-capped peaks are among its highlights along with a remarkable wildlife species. Orcas, seals, and penguins to name a few.

New Zealand (North and South Island) is where you can find a range of habitats, landscapes, adventures and culture that are irresistible. You would find Queenstown as one of the coolest lakefront, mountain towns in the world. The North Island's native rainforests and volcanoes, geothermal pools can also be an interesting subject.

Again, the best travel photography destination will depend on how you perceive it. For more travel news and updates, stay tuned to Travelers Today
